Friday, 8 April 2016

OK, I know it's Friday and the weekend hasn't officially started but it just feels like it!

We still haven't got the cameras back from the mender but Old Two Legs reckons to get them tonight.

This morning we were out with May and April and OTL noticed that April just wasn't herself. She is normally fighting May and pinching the food May tries to stash away but this morning all she wanted to do was go to sleep in the drawer!

OTL took her with us down to the beach but she just wanted to get back in the bag, so OTL let her climb in and do the 'Walk' sitting in the ferret bag on OTL's hand and poking her head out the top so she can see what was going on!

Miss May was her normal 'Rush About' self and had great fun trying to trip Holly up by running between her legs and wrapping the lead around them!

It nearly worked!

Back home we got a visit from Auntie Sheila who we gave a big welcome lick on the nose! She had come to play 'Glue Slapping' with The Missus and generally make a mess with the glitter, as usual!

OTL had to go out and didn't expect to get back until late this after noon so we had to look forward to TM taking us across the Farm!

OTL got back just after four which was just as well 'cos he had taken the laptop to do some programming of radio stuff.

That means I don't have much time to get this blog up and running!

Mind you, it would have been worse if I had to do the pictures as well!

April is still sleeping, which is not too unusual for a ferret, but when OTL came in all she wanted was a cuddle, and a slurp of Ferretone!

About Me

Hello, my name is Daisy and I was taken away from
Mum and Dad by Old Two Legs and The Missus one cold dark evening. It was a bit
traumatic at the time but we all soon settled down and everything is OK now.

My sister Holly came to live with us about a year later and between the pair of us we manage to keep these Two Legs in line!

In December 2012, we were joined by Snowflake, a little ferret we found in our garden. She had her own home in OTL's office called Snowy Heights!

Then in July 2013 Mr Brambles, a super Sandy Hob Ferret, came to live with us and be a mate for Snowflake. We sadly lost Mr Brambles to old age in September 2015. A gentle ferret who will be missed terribly. We also lost Miss Snowflake in November 2015. She has left a big hole in our hearts, she was a real Daddy's Girl to the end.

There arrived two new ferrets in August 2015, Miss May and Miss April who are sisters, born in 2013, we think! They were full of fun and mischief and kept up the tradition of pinching our biscuits, just like Brambles did!

Sadly Miss April contracted Cardiomyopathy, which is a heart condition. She died in September 2016 and is resting in a flower pot in the garden with Snowflake and Brambles.

We were down to two ferrets and an empty cage but that didn't last long, a brother and sister ferrets needed a 'Forever Home' and Fred & Wilma moved in. They are about two and a half years old, so they were born 2012/2013. Fred is a gentle soul who loves cuddles with OTL and Wilma a bossy sister but loves OTL! We reckon them to be Polecat Coloured Ferrets.

It was a shock when Wilma was attacked by a dog and unfortunately died of shock a few hours later. Like Snowflake, Brambles and April, she is also sleeping in a flower pot in our garden.

Fred was not happy about being on his own and he was introduced to Wendy, a Polecat Coloured Ferret who found her way to the Harrietsham Ferret Rescue.

Introductions went well to begin with but within a day or so she began instructing Fred on just who was really in charge!

We had something similar with Miss May who lost her sister to Cardiomyopathy (Weak Heart). Miss May is a feisty young lady and she was introduced to Eric de Ferret while we were down at the Harrietsham Ferret Rescue and although she tried to be a bit bossy, he was having none of it! He may only be six months old but her didn't back down and the pair came to an agreement!

So young Eric moved in and they both started to learn how to get on together!

OTL takes us walking every day and we have 'Adventures'! The Missus feeds us, so, what more can a pair of puppies and family of fun loving ferrets ask for?
